Smoky Conditions Possible

Hazy, smoky air conditions will be an around this weekend in the southern part of the Wasco County as work on the White River Fire continues.  Dr. Kat Navarro is an air resource advisor for the U.S. Forest Service.  She says the areas around the White River Fire will see some smoke over the weekend, mainly around Highways 26 and 126 along with Tygh Valley.  Navarro adds there may be smoke coming in to the region from other fires, in particular the Lionshead fire on the Warm Springs Reservation and the Evans Creek Fire northwest of Yakima.  Navarro recommends if you see smoke in your area to limit vigorous outdoor activity and limit your exposure to the smoke.
